KALAMAZOO--Five Western Michigan University employees have
been recognized for making significant contributions to the University.

The staff members were honored May 18 at the Spring Awards
Luncheon sponsored by the Administrative Professional Association
and the Professional Support Staff Organization.

The annual event brings together WMU's two nonbargaining employee
groups to celebrate the hard work and dedication of University
staff members.

Those attending the APA/PSSO luncheon were encouraged to don
WMU apparel, in keeping with this year's theme Wonderful World
that is Western!, and were treated to the antics of the University's
mascot, Buster Bronco.

The event featured the presentation of the sponsoring organizations'
five annual awards. The employees winning those accolades, along
with the names of the awards they received, are:

Jennifer Bailey, assistant director of fitness in
University Recreation, APA Outstanding New Professional Award
